Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy
J**R
Hilarious
Hilarious.Because it's a straight-to-dvd sort of collection of animated shorts, there are definitely jokes that wouldn't evade censors were they included in Family Guy or his television shows. Well worth the money.

Good but not incredible
This is amusing but it isn't as good as any other series Seth MacFalane's done.It's quite explicit and some of the jokes are really funny. I would say that if you are a fan you should definitively have it as part of your collection but otherwise it's just not that good.

Do you like Seth Macfarlane? Then get this.
Have you ever watched Family Guy and thought "these jokes don't drag on long enough" or "this isn't offensive enough" or "why aren't there gratuitous nipples on this broadcast TV show" or "I wish they would let Seth Green just improvise an entire sketch"?Then DEFINITELY get this.If not, you're pretty normal and might be slightly irked by some of those things. I personally felt that Seth improvising a REALLY long sketch about Matthew McConaughey being eaten alive by a shipwreck survivor was delightful. You might not.Some of the sketches are clear winners and made me snort my drink. That'll teach me to watch this while drinking strong spirits! Others were a little weak in implementation. But all in all well worth the purchase price.

Wow...people need to laugh easier :)
I am completely shocked by the overwhelming negative review to this title. As a die-hard Seth MacFarlane fan, I found this series of skits to be absolutely hysterical. I have re-watched it countless times, and it provides a whole new repertoire of quotes to use with friends (if you like family guy as much as my friends do you know what I mean when I say this). This series is absolutely worth the money and the time (albeit the blu-ray version is not that high quality), and if you like to laugh (and love Family Guy) you will love these sketches.I *highly* recommend you watch it with the same environment you should watch family guy -- with a large group of friends. The more people, the better the experience. Don't expect to watch this alone and think it's as funny...the same logic applies to family guy, and almost all comedies for that matter!

Funny, but Blu-Ray version is obsolete.
Let me start by saying, I'm a HUGE fan of just about anything Seth MacFarlane puts his name on. I was REALLY looking forward to this coming out on Blu-Ray and I was expecting bright colors and razor-sharp clarity. Unfortunately, that's not the case here. Every site I looked on before this officially came out had a different aspect ratio listed for this title.The truth is, its a lame 1.33:1 full screen presentation that is, at best, as good looking as a standard DVD upscalled to HD. Simply meh. The very few special features that ARE included are in 480p. I'm really surprized they bothered to include a DTS Master Audio track on this title, because the majority of the skits are just two people talking.In the end, I can't reccomend buying this on Blu-Ray without feeling bad. Buy the DVD version. It will look basically the same and you'll be able to play it on just about any computer or set top player.

Calvacade of Cartoon Comedy is Worth It
If you're entertained by MacFarlane's body of work, style of comedy, and the often out of boundary or over the line scenario that makes you feel bad for laughing but you can't stop, then you will absolutely enjoy this collection of animated skits. I recently purchased it and I know that I will be able to watch it again down the road when I really need a good laugh. The skits are so random, well done, and just plain funny. I laughed so hard. Macfarlane, his writers, and fellow producers did a great job with this project, in my opinion, and I hope that they decide to release more of these in the future. NOT FOR CHILDREN!!!!

Amazing snd came earlier ty

Well, I Guess It's OK
This is a series of short cartoon skits that have nothing to do with either Family Guy or American Dad. If anything, they are like the cutaways they do on Family Guy. They are what you might expect, rude and lewd, but sadly a lot of them do fall flat. There are a few hilarious ones, in particular the sheep shearing one, but by and large it's an Okay product. What is unfortunate is that there are only some 50 skits and the total run time is very short, about an hour. The dvd isn't expensive and is likely to remain a curiosity purchase for Family Guy fans who can't wait for the next dvd release of the series. Take it or leave it.

I thought it was funny.
I bought this DVD as a good used and with postage it cost only £1.50 and was delivered two days after placing the order. So what's not to like?It's exactly what I expected; a series of unconnected cartoon cut away cartoon jokes. As expected with Seth McFarlane, most poke fun at the establishment and attitudes and I found it interesting, entertaining and most of all, amusing viewing.

Small talk with aunt Helen...
By far probably the best collection of cutaways that didn't make it to family guy, and they all ended up here a few are slightly extended versions of cutaways that didn't quite make the show, and they became their own with this, if you enjoy crude and tongue and cheek humour in family guy cutaway fashion, you'll love this without a doubt :D

A man of that genius thought of this?
What a let down! You'd think with a man that created family guy, american dad and the cleveland show he'd make a dvd that would closely match the genius. Although there are one or two sketches that are humorous the rest is just unfunny and to be honest annoying.I bought this because i was a great fan of this work but this is a total let down.

I love Family Guy and American Dad, so I thought I'd give this a go. This is basically a collection of the sort of cut away jokes you get on Family Guy and they really aren't that great. I had to skip a couple ( the Scotsman who can't stop taking to characters in a movie and Fred Flinstone taking a dump just went on and on and weren't funny ). It gives a couple laughs but I really wouldn't bother with it.

What else did you expect?
Good, but nowhere near the standard of family guy. There is a massive lack of music which is actually really weird. Still, good buy. If you like South Park and Family Guy and all that stuff, you'll most likely like this too.
